Thanks ! I tried it yesterday with Scenario 7 from CC:E (Axis : Attacker, Allies : Defender) and worked through it pretty well. The Allies have only 1 order in this scenario so it helps keep the flow of the game. I did not reshuffled the cards into the draw pile, though. IMHO, it tends to slow down. Anyway, I'll give another try soon. Thanks again.

Thank you for this wonderful variant.
I've tried it and it works fine. I've post on my blog how it works in spanish. I mention it's your work and I've linked it to this thread.

I hope you are ok with that.

Ok, Here we go my poor english and me hehe:

The first issue that I've noticed is that it isn't necesary to refill the hand every time you reveal it. For example: If you're playing the final order of the active side and you do Op-fire with the inactive side you may do not the refill because it will be your new side just now. I think your rule is pretty clear and something like this may create some confusion but when you're already playing it makes sense.

Also I have noticed that discard some cards and conserve other ones doesn't make sense because you're gonna reshuffle your hand and refill it. When I play this game like defender I like to save Fire cards to do Op-fire. What I mean is that the discard limit of the diferent nations doesn't apply because you always are going to renew your whole hand. Ok, I can handle it and I think there isn't other better solution but It introduces some luck and pulls off some strategy.

Now some questions:

I can't understand limitation of the initiative card. Why are you going to use only to make time? I think it's too powerfull to waste it with something like this, also if you are defender. If you mean to use it with the both sides again and again despite it has no sense I think it's simply cheating.

What about the cards having C.confusion Order and an interesant action? Do you have to preserve it when you refill? or reshuffle it too?

I don't understand what you mean by cheating. Like I said, this limitation was just a variant I tried, but you are free to use it as in a regular game, to the best of both sides' situations

I reshuffle them. I understand that in a real game, you may want to keep a C.Confusion for the action, but since I wanted to simulate a maximum of fog of war (I don't want to know what the other hand has: orders, actions...), it involved sacrificing some tactical possibilities. Feel free to try it the other way and let me know how it goes. I'm really curious because this was an issue I had to settle before posting my file.

Maybe my limited english is the problem here hehe. I mean: Why are you gonna use the Iniciative card with both sides repeatedly? At some point it should be more usefull keep it for one side. If the defending side uses it to force more rolls, the attacking side should conserve it. If you use it again as the attacking player I think you aren't playing honestly.

I hope you can understand what I mean.

If I come up with any suggestions I will pass them along.
